2 Timothy 3

1

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

1
3

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

2
6

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

1
7

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

1
2
8

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

1
9

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

1
2
10

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

11

Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

1
2
12

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

1
1
13

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

2
14

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

1
15

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

1
16

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

2 Timothy 3:14

“But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;”

Study Summary

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it — Timothy's stability (menō) depends on persisting in didachē (teaching) and pisteuo (conviction) grounded in his pedagogical sources: Paul and earlier believers. Transmitted truth proves trustworthy.

Trusting God's timing — 2 Timothy 3

What a reminder that God's ways are not our ways. God is faithful in every circumstance.. Today it speaks comfort; a year ago it spoke conviction.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. The thread of covenant runs through every book of the Bible.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. The imagery here is agricultural — the original audience would have immediately understood the metaphor of sowing, waiting, and harvesting.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. There's something deeply comforting about knowing that the same God who spoke these words is the same yesterday, today, and forever.. The promise here is not conditional on our strength but on His character.. The thread of covenant runs through every book of the Bible.. I love how this passage doesn't shy away from the difficulty of obedience. God is faithful in every circumstance.. My grandmother used to quote…
